Windows VISTA
It is not only the public internet that is being destroyed also the openness/accessibility of the computer in your home. IBM back in the early 1980's did an unusual thing by making the PC a open computer this corporate "oversight" is now being rectified. DRM which will servilely limited what can be done with computers in a few years time is being introduced now - this article covers the problems in the hart of Windows VISTA.

P2P and torrents
The is a concerted attack by ISP's on P2P and the bandwidth it uses, our TV system is based on P2P bittorrents.

A list of known bad ISP's in the UK

Some discussen on how to avoid ISP's blocking torrent traffic.

You pay for the bandwidth so you should be able to use it...

The problem is that the closing of the internet in happening NOW and we wont notice it till its over. The internet only came into being by being open. - and closing it will very likely kill it - the ISPs played no role in the creation of the internet why should we stand aside and let them kill it.

Its a huge technical challenge to close the internet, and one that is very likely to fail, so its an easy battle to win IF WE FIGHT IT before the damage is done.
